Why don't I have an employee tab?

Hello @erika8olsen-gmai,

As of the moment, there isn't an integrated way to add employees with QuickBooks Self-Employed. This is because this version of QuickBooks is intended for individuals with self-employed businesses.

That said, here's an article you can read to learn more about the nature of your new account in QuickBooks: QuickBooks Self-Employed Overview.

But if your business is growing and now you have employees to pay, you can upgrade your account by following the steps outlined in this article: Switch from QuickBooks Self-Employed to QuickBooks Online.
